a process that takes approximately 23,000 years to complete ---- Many geologists think Earth's climatic cycle is due to equinox precession, a process that takes approximately 23,000 years to complete. During equinox precession, Earth wobbles on its axis, causing the degree to which the Earth is tilted on its axis to vary. This variance produces changes in the amount of solar radiation reaching different parts of Earth's surface, thus influencing the global climate. During some parts of this cycle, Earth is cooler and has ice ages. During other parts of this cycle, Earth experiences global warming.

Which motions refers to Earth's spinning on it's axis?
Precession of the equinox.
What do you call the slow movement of earths axis with a period of 26000 years?
Procession of the Equinox
What are other names for fall equinox?
It used to be called "The First Point of Aries", because it was located just inside the constellation Aries. However, due to precession the 'point' shifts over time.
How many degrees of the sky does the zodiac represent?
Each zodiac represents 30 degrees in the sky. The Ancient Egyptians recognized the precession of the Equinox where the equinox changes sign every 2160 years, e.g from the Age of the Aries to Pisces.

Which is thought to be most responsible for earths ice ages?
Earth's precession
Earths tilt does not stay the same because of its what?
precession
What is the earth movement but it takes 26000 years what would it is called?
Precession, which in this case refers to a movement of Earth's axis. A full "turn" takes about 26,000 years.
What is an ayanamsha?
An ayanamsha is a degree of precession in Vedic astrology.
How the Earth's precession differ from the Earth's rotation?
Precession refers to a gradual change in the direction of Earth's axis of rotation.
What will be the Larmor precession frequency of an electron in an atom placed in zero magnetic field?
There is no Larmor precession without magnetic field
What is earths precession?
The Earth is a spinning top (gyro) with a different moment of inertia about the spin axis than the other two axis. Therefore, it acts like a spinning top with both precession and nutation. Precession of the polar axis (relative to a 'fixed' distant star) forms a cone. The precession period (~26,000years) is the time it takes for the cone to be traced. Nutation occurs normal to the precession cone and has a much faster period (~18.6yrs).
